The papers in this volume are based on an international conference hosted by the University of Athens in May 2001. It was held in the Central Building of the University under the auspices of the Dean of the Philosophical School, Emmanuel Microyannakis. A particular effort was made to assemble an international cast of scholars working in a great range of fields in order to illuminate various aspects of Athenian art, archaeology and history in the crucial century of Macedonian domination, which was marked by the almost constant occupation of the Piraeus harbor between the end of the Lamian War in 322 and the departure of the Macedonian garrison in 229 B.C. The Macedonians dealt a blow on Athenian independence and Athenian democracy, initiating the first in a long, intermittent series of foreign occupations. One of the side effects of Macedonian domination was Athens new role as a stepping stone in the struggles of the Successors for the throne of Macedon. Kassandros, Demetrios Poliorketes and Antigonos Gonatas were able to secure Macedonia by using Athens as a power base. How the Athenians interacted with the Macedonians and in what ways were Athenian patterns of behavior, as well as Athenian culture, affected were some of the questions posed by the conference. The papers assembled here contribute to the ongoing debate about the reasons of Macedonian ascendancy, the degree of independence accorded Athens by their Macedonian overlords, the third-century archon list and the changes in form and content introduced in Athenian art and architecture.

The conference was sponsored by the University of Athens, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, the I. Kostopoulos Foundation, the Society of Messenian Archaeological Studies and Mistra Estates-Ladopoulos. We gratefully acknowledge the technical and moral support of Hans R. Goette of the German Archaeological Institute during the conference. We are indebted to David Brown for agreeing to include the Proceedings in his series. The preparation of the papers for publication was facilitated by Wendy Watkins, curator of the Center of Epigraphical and Palaeographical Studies at Ohio State University, and by Philip Forsythe, director of the Packard Humanities Institute project at Ohio State. Thanks are due to Ergotelis Loukakis for designing the front cover (based on a photo by Hans Goette), and to Marie Mauzy for the photo of W. D. E. Coulson. The index locorum was compiled by Graham J. Oliver.

The authors choices in spelling Greek proper names and of English or American usage and spelling of words have been respected throughout. Bibliographical abbreviations follow the guidelines of the German Archaeological Institute as published in Archologischer Anzeiger 112, 1997, 612625.
